As simple as it may seem, most of us do not have the courage to do it. “Let’s sit down and have a chat” can actually be quite a scary line when we’re trying to escape from a conflict. It’s like an official confrontation.

And yeah, most of us would just run away. We’ll keep quiet and run away from it, burying the issue deep into the darkest corner of our heart, and trying to forget it once and for all.

But will that actually fix the issue? No. It will not and there’s a high possibility that it will come back to haunt you.

That’s why I feel whenever we’re faced with issues or troubled by conflicts, it’s better to sit down to whoever is concerned and have a heart-to-heart chat. Leave your ego 100 miles away and solve the issue at hand. Respect what each other has to say and try to come out with a solution which will help everyone.

But even if there’s no solution, having a heart-to-heart chat and by just listening attentively to one another, I believe it’ll greatly help the relationship.

Because at the end of the day, I believe this world will be a better place if only everyone learns to take time to listen more, communicate more and respect each other more.
